How to join the JE (Johnny's) fanclubs

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to apply for any of the Johnny's fanclubs, from Shounentai to SMAP to Arashi to You&J and all that fall in between.

First of all, you will need a Japanese address. If you do not have one, you cannot join the fanclub.

Second, you will need to go to the post office and get a “harai komi yoshi.” They are blue forms, and are used to pay for things (such as the fanclub, tickets, etc.,). It may be good to grab a few, just in case you make a mistake. It is also helpful to have them on hand in case you need them to apply for tickets.

The cost to join is 5000 yen, and it is 4000 yen to renew each year. Fanclub members get some kind of card or something to show they are in the fanclub. You will also get a quarterly newsletter. When it is time to apply for tickets, the Johnny's office will send you what you need to know.

Once you get the blue forms from the post office, you will need to fill in your information. I have edited the Japanese form with what you will need to put in.

Notes:

• You don't mail the application. You have to pay for it at the post office (where you get the forms). You can either pay at the counter, or pay at the ATM.
• The information on the right side will be returned to you. Keep that as a receipt until you get your fanclub information back. It can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to get your information, so be patient.
• There is an extra 500 yen fee when you join that the post office charges.
• With that sheet, you can only join one fanclub. You will need to fill out a separate sheet for each fanclub.
• Be careful when filling out the form. The places with the red "X" should have nothing there.
• If you are joining the same fanclub with more than one name, use a different phone number. The Johnny's office sometimes checks that information and may call and ask for proof that both people live at that address.
• Also note that if you apply for the fanclub using someone else's address and you miss for tickets, that person (or you) will lose money unless you can come back to endorse the money order. When you don't hit for tickets they send you a money order for that amount and every time I have gone they asked for my ID before they would refund my money.

* The reason you need to remember the phone number you use when you sign up for the fanclub is so that you CAN call to check and see if you hit tickets. If you do not have a home phone number you can just write your keitai/cell/hand phone number down twice.
